The honest truth about an honest film.

Rating: 9/10 (15 June 2003)

This film, like all "Zombie films" is given to the cliches all it's siblings are, yet it's a smart flick, not brilliant, but honest, smart and fun. Danny Boyle and Alex Garland have brought new life to a genre of film that has been floundering in recent years. Big budget Hollywood Zombie films like "Resident Evil", have taken the heart out these usually symbolic and intelligent films. A good Zombie film, like any good Horror film always has a message somewhere under the gore and mayhem, the statement about race in "Night Of The Living Dead", or even love as in "The Cemetery Man". Alex Garland has remembered his, his film under the direction of Danny Bloyle is a true Zombie film, the Zombies are all too human and yet all too animal at the same time, we see our selves reflected in the actions of the main character, even if we don't want agree with them. The "gore" is used sparingly, making it all the more shocking when it appears. This film isn't going to win any Oscars, but it is destined to become a cult classic and a favorite of many for years to come.
